MY STORY

Project Upgrade Her was born out of my own battles of dealing with low self confidence and self-worth in my initial corporate journey. I dealt with impostor syndrome for a major part of my career, it was only through a journey of immersing myself in career coaching and personal development programmes, I realised that the power to numb that inner critic is in my own hands. Once I learnt the tools and strategies to navigate self doubt and worked on my mindset, there was no turning back!Fast forward to 2023, my corporate journey involves working with leading brands in India and New Zealand like Ernst Young, Electric Kiwi, Foodstuffs North island, Auckland Airport, holding leadership positions, getting featured for my contributions to community and being invited to speak at events. 

 

Features and Speaking Events: 

  • Featured in '20 young professionals to watch' in Australia and New Zealand, 2022 - CA ANZ 

  • Inspirational Speaker for New Member ceremony held in Auckland, 2022 - CA ANZ 

  • Panel speaker at 'Find your Fit' event by CAANZ and Women's Mentoring Programme, 2022.

  • Leadership positions:
  • I was the youngest Board member at ECPAT, an NGO in New Zealand without any prior Board experience.

  • I am on the committee for 'Auckland Emerging Leaders Group' for Chartered Accountants Australia New Zealand 

  • I am also on the committee of UN Women Aotearoa, where I actively advocate for empowerment of women.

  • I coach and mentor women through various mentoring programmes like 'Women’s Mentoring Programme' by Auckland School of Business

​

  • How did I do it? No opportunity came knocking on my door, I created them. I said “Yes” to everything that scared the hell out of me and that’s when the magic happened. Every time my inner critic tried to keep me safe and small, I did not let it be on the driver seat.All this is possible for you too, book a call with me to unleash your inner boss and get a upgrade in your career and confidence!​
